Let's talk about SECTION C!

[adrihepburn]

I hope you guys got the Salt 'n Peppa reference (or i'm just immediately lame)

Sampling method?
Quantitative or qualitative data from EMG, EOG, EEG readings?
One reason why it wasn't an experiment?
Two reasons why Gardner's results could not be generalised?

And what sort of whacky experiments did you lot come up with?

Sampling method: convenience sampling
Quantitative data
It was an in-depth study of an individual
1) the sample wasn't representative of a population
2) Can't remember hahaah

Yep, all the same as me, my second reason for not being able to generalise is because we can't draw conclusions / apply them to the wider population solely off descriptive statistics > require a p value.


and for the "why it isnt an experiment"
in order for something to be considered an experiment it needs to determine or attempt to determine a cause and effect relationship between variables.

How did you find the extended response ??

How did you find the extended response ??

as soon as i saw it, i highlighted and annotated what it was asking of me, but realised that i would need to construct a plan, so luckily at that point i had approx 45 minutes for the extended response so i wrote a plan and made an independent measures design with two levels of the iv (partial and complete sleep deprivation) to compare their levels of recovery.. individuals were pre-tested based on how long they normally sleep.. i think i got a bit carried away and when explaining the collection of data i explained it and drew a graph hahaha.

i wish vcaa werent as sneaky, thats going to be the question that separates A+ students from B+ students.

[Damoz.G]

I said for the reasons why the results cannot be generalised that the Sample was too small and the results were not representative of the whole population (only adolescents).

[mernakorkes]

I had approximately 20 minutes left to read/annotate/ and complete section C, I went pretty good in the questions but when it came to the extended response, i stuffed up and stressed out when i realized i was running out of time worst thing ever

Me too. I was pretty good with timing with my prev. trial exams, with 30 minutes to spare. But I only had 13-ish minutes to spare...poor time management, as I spent too much time on the SA section. But y'know, hopefully you score well in MC and SA I'm counting on that... fingers crossed!

wasnt it convenience sampling since it was students

[darklight]

I said it was convenience sampling furthermore an experiment effect was present, since he chose what to put into his study.
For extended response, I wrote students from a high school were picked conveniently and randomly allocated via a random number generator to three groups - partial prolonged for 7 seven days, partial short for 2 days and not partial at all.
Then explained two evs - experimenter effect, and non-standardised instructions and procedures.

[herrinal]

I wrote the WHOLE thing on the case study :\
I was like, no hypothesis can be formed, there are no extraneous variables..
oh dear...
There goes any chance at a 45, or even a 40
